God's promise to Adam, in Genesis 2:18 as rendered in the King James version of the Bible (1611), was to give him "an help [helper] meet [fit or suitable] for him.”In 1673 the poet John Dryden used the phrase "help-meet for man,”with a hyphen betweenhelp and meet. This was one step on the way toward the establishment of the phrase "help meet" as an independent word.Another was the use of "help meet"without "for man"to mean a suitable helper,usually a spouse, as Eve had been to Adam.Despite such usages,however, for the most parthelpmeet was not thought of as a word in its own right until the 19th century. Nonetheless the phrase "help meet" probably played a role in the creation of the synonymous compoundhelpmate, from ( help and mate ), first recorded in 1715. Helpmeet 和 helpmate 这两个意义完全相同的词的存在缘于一起错误的喜剧。 据英王詹姆士一世钦定《圣经》英译本(1611年）《创业记》2：18的记载，上帝允诺亚当给他“一个适合他的助手”。1673年，诗人约翰·德莱顿使用了“男人的助手”这个短语，并且在help 和 meet 中间加了一个连字符成为help-meet。 这是短语"help meet"成为一个独立的单词道路上所迈出的第一步。另一步就是单独使用"help meet"，去掉了"for man"这个成分，意思是适合的伙伴，通常指象夏娃之于亚当那样的伴侣。尽管有以上这些用法，但是，总的说来，helpmeet 这个说法直到19世纪才凭借自身的资格成为一个单词。 但不管怎么说，同义合成词helpmate 来源于（ help 加 mate ）的创造过程中（这个词首次记录于1715年），短语"help meet"很可能扮演了一定的角色 |
